A beautiful story of faith in God, hope, forgiveness, love and tragedy. I always look forward to reading books by Jill Eileen Smith. The Prince and the Prodigal is based on the second half of Genesis, specifically the life of Jacob’s camp in Hebron, his slavery in Egypt and the move of Judah’s to Canaan. Smith tells the story of Jacob and the love he had for his son, Joseph. I can not imagine the fear of Joseph’s and the grief of Jacob for what his brother did to him I love how Jill recreates the characters and brings them to life, how you can feel as if you know each character intimately. Ms. Smith has become a favorite of mine and always look forward to reading her books
